    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    I just limit my driving, I can literally see the pile of dirt I was running a dozer on last night from my front porch so its no big deal. Even when I was living an hour away I would drive it a couple miles to my friends house and just ride to work with him. I lived out of town so I usually just...

    The electro-magic actually was not to hard on the journals, the CLR really made things look shitty. Im talking like minimal polishing and they have a mirror like finish. Crank is good, before I even screwed with it I got a micrometer set off ebay and everything spec'd out beautifully right...

    Were they the little sport mirrors? Was it a black one? If that guy put normal mirrors on his I might do the same thing, the little mirrors are very hard to see out of.

    Betsy likes this stuff, all the shiny parts and machined surfaces are interesting to anyone. Rundown on this engine is its a low mile rebuild I got from a guy that owns a machine shop in Seirra Verde south of Tuscon. He acquired it and took it apart to spec everything out, everything spec'd...

    OHHH, yeah I remember seeing a post on facebook from him about harmonic balancers. I just saw a nice snap on unit on craigslist, I do need to snag one. Actually, I used my harbor freight power steering pulley kit to pull the harmonic balancer off my small block, I just cant remember how I set it up.

    Thanks man! If you ever see another one snag some pictures, they are pretty rare trucks. Here is a story about how rare they are: I linked up with a guy in Seirra Vista Az that owns a machine shop, he invited me to his house to do some horse trading and what I saw when I got there was mind...

    Thats a really good price dude, I got mine for 3k but its missing some stuff! My point here is that I love my 90 454SS so much I have no desire to drive anything else ever again, I parked an 07 Mustang in great shape with no problems so I could drive a truck I am restoring with no drivers side...

    This is a gen VI I got from a guy that owns a machine shop in Seirra Vista, the engine in my truck right now is a gen IIII. They went to a V engine and the turbo 700R trans in 91 so my truck has the old stuff. I will post more pictures as stuff shows up in the mail and i start assembling...

    Carb to tbi swap

    Good point buddy, You have to change the fuel lines and sending units from the tank. Regular fuel line wont work, it will explode. Im drunk, cant remember. There is some shit with the fuel system though.

    Good lookin truck man! Have you ever seen that show Portlandia on IFC, I love it and was wondering how accurate it is. I lived in Reno for a couple years and people always ask if its really like the show RENO 911. My response was always "its like a documentary but its actually shot in...

    my cnc milling machine

    The mill I have is just one of those Harbor Freight ones, I got it in 06 and have not had it set up since then. I think it is a perfect candidate for a frankenstien cnc machine, I was planning on converting it to dro's but that was until I saw the home made cnc machine.
